Download or read book Turn on the light on science written by Antonio Tintori and published by Ubiquity Press. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists deserve public recognition. The ways that they are depicted, however, are severely limited in physical and personal traits, helping to establish and enhance stereotypes under the general title of ‘scientist’. These stereotypes range from the arrogant researcher who wants to rule the world, to the lab coat wearing ‘nerdy’ genius, but all generally fall to an extreme view of an existing perception of what a scientist should look and be like. For example, the popular image of ‘a scientist’ overlooks the presence of women almost entirely unless attributed to specific subjects and/or with narrow character depictions. The implications can be far-reaching. Young people, being heavily swayed by what they see and hear in the media, may avoid scientific careers because of these limited or unflattering portrayals of the scientific community, regardless of whether they reflect real life. Based on findings from the Light’13 project, this book examines such stereotypes and questions whether it is possible to adjust people’s perception of scientists and to increase interest in science and scientific careers through a series of specific actions and events.

Book excerpt: A tour-de-force by rising indy comics star Gene Yang, American Born Chinese tells the story of three apparently unrelated characters: Jin Wang, who moves to a new neighborhood with his family only to discover that he's the only Chinese-American student at his new school; the powerful Monkey King, subject of one of the oldest and greatest Chinese fables; and Chin-Kee, a personification of the ultimate negative Chinese stereotype, who is ruining his cousin Danny's life with his yearly visits.

This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you know about Ukraine? The sad reason - Russian aggression - forced the world to talk about this great Eastern European country, its history over the past several centuries was undeservedly in the shadow of the neighbor-invader. But do you know at least something about Ukrainian literature? We offer to get acquaintance with it not from the very beginning, but from the Renaissance. The reason for that is very simple - a significant part of the authors from Ukraine of that time used Latin to express their thoughts and feelings as well as the rest of Europe. This tradition has not completely collapsed even today, to prove that: if you conscientiously have studied and still remember this classic language, you can enjoy the quotes in the original. At the Renaissance era the intellectuals have considered themselves as a separate community, higher than political boundaries. So, the literature they have created is a common heritage. So, here in front of you - still unknown page of European literature, written in Ukraine. Meet it, taste it, share it!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the science behind stereotypes. From the time we’re babies, our brains sort and label the world around us — a necessary skill for survival. But there’s a downside: we also do it to groups of people in ways that can be harmful. With loads of examples, here’s a scientific overview of stereotyping, covering the history of identifying stereotypes, secret biases in our brains, how stereotypes affect our sense of self, and current research into the ways that science can help us overcome them. Adolescents are all too familiar with stereotypes. Here’s why our brains create stereotypes, and how science can help us do it less.

Book excerpt: 'If you've ever had someone in your orbit say an ignorant thing about mental health and wished you had a clever repost, this book is your instruction manual.' Natasha Devon, MBE'Lucy Nichol is a fresh and important voice in the world of mental health (...) this book will offer people who suffer from mental health issues some relief, and for those who don't suffer - they'll get some understanding. Read it ' Amber Tozer'A Series of Unfortunate Stereotypes is essentially an exercise in empathy. Lucy has been there and she cares: reflection and resonance.' Kristin Hersh'Lucy's book really struck a chord with me. Anxiety is a medium-sized word with plus-size consequences, and opening up about what it actually means is the only way to break down those 'unfortunate stereotypes'...' Andrea McLean'I love Lucy's writing. It's an insightful and incredibly accurate account of living with mental illness and the stigma that surrounds it, written with humour and intelligence.'Denise Welch'Lucy has the gift of sparkling prose and a mischievous, self-deprecating sense of humour.' David Whetstone, Arts Editor, The Journal'I can see why she thought I wouldn't like it.' Lucy's grandmaFrom a young age, Lucy Nichol has always been on edge. Whether it's because of her fear of beards, a general sense that she can catch a disease from anything, or the belief that she's going to throw up at any given moment, she's never really felt safe.In A Series of Unfortunate Stereotypes, Lucy explores the different lenses through which she and other people have viewed her mental health problems. She tackles a number of different stereotypes placed on people living with mental illness, including the idea that they are narcissists, hypochondriacs, and psychos.After writing a blog post about her journey, Lucy realised that she wasn't alone in feeling this way. And so she began to talk more about her experience, eventually becoming a columnist in Sarah Millican's magazine Standard Issue. In writing about her life in such an open way, Lucy has been able to claw herself back from the grips of her anxiety.A Series of Unfortunate Stereotypes is one of the most fortunate things you could read Trigger are proud to announce Theinspirationalseries partner to their innovative Pullingthetrigger range.
